a 7% drop in energy strains over one year in France

In total, “out of the 37 million housing units in France”, the number of energy sieves is estimated “at 6.6 million” as of January 1, 2023, according to the National Observatory for Energy Renovation.

The number of homes considered as energy sieves in France is estimated at 6.6 million in total as of January 1, 2023 compared to 7.1 million in 2022, a drop of 7%, according to the annual report from the National Energy Observatory. energy renovation. In total, “out of the 37 million housing units in the entire French housing stock [résidences principales, résidences secondaires et logements vacants]the number of energy strainers on January 1, 2023 is estimated at 6.6 million (17.8% of the fleet) compared to 7.1 million (19.5%) in 2022, a drop of 7%.announces a publication put online on November 20.

In the energy performance diagnoses (DPE) established for housing and buildings, whose ratings can range from A to G, those which are considered energy or thermal sieves are rated “F” or “G”, most of the time by lack of insulation or heating with fossil fuels (gas, fuel oil) which emits high amounts of CO2. The DPEs, created in 2006 and reformed in 2021, assess the energy consumption of a home or building and its impact in terms of greenhouse gas emissions.

Ile-de-France, bad student

Taking into account only the 30 million main residences in France on January 1, 2023, the number of sieves is estimated at “around 4.8 million”or 15.7% of the fleet compared to “5.1 million” in 2022 (i.e. 17.1%), specifies the Observatory. This number is estimated “down by almost 380,000 housing units compared to 2022”.

The social rental stock consumes less energy on average than the private stock: 380,000 housing units and 8.1% of F and G labels, compared to 4.4 million and 17.1% for the private stock, notes the document. By region, with 21.7% energy strainers and 47.5% housing classified from E to G among main residences, Ile-de-France “presents the most unfavorable situation”. This is explained in particular by the significant proportion of small housing in this region, these housing having the highest rates of colanders (31.3% for those less than 30 m2, 19.7% between 30 and 60 m2) .
